Our Mission

A Greener Shopping Experience

At My Green Marketplace we sat down one day and thought about how we could create a truly green shopping experience – one where the products aren’t just green, the entire process is green. After a lot of thought we came up with a simple solution: stop worrying so much about profits. If you don’t worry about profits then you have money left over – money that you can use to make the world a greener place.

So we decided that we would create a new kind of store where instead of taking profits we redirected our excess money to support all kinds of great green projects. That way our customers wouldn’t just be buying green products, they would be helping to build wind farms and clean water projects and recycling plants.

Basically, we are a new kind of marketplace. A marketplace that doesn’t just sell green products, a marketplace that sells a green shopping experience. So buy with us and help us to create a new, truly green marketplace.

How Does it Work?

We take all of our profits and use them to buy environmental offsets. Environmental offsets are a way to offset the environmental impact of a company, product, etc., and provide money for green projects. (You can learn all about environmental offsets here.) We partner with Terrapass to accomplish this, and when we buy offsets from them they direct the money to the green projects.
